When you deposit your vacation time with RCI, we assign it a Deposit Trading Power and hold it for you (for up to 2 years). If you don’t use your deposit, and don’t extend it, you lose the opportunity to vacation against it, which also means that you don’t get a vacation in return for the maintenance fees you already paid to your resort. Purchasing a Deposit Extension for 1, 3 or 6 months, up to one year, will save your deposit, giving you more time to book an exchange vacation so you don’t miss out.

And remember, you can purchase a Deposit Extension for your Deposit Credit too.

You can purchase a Deposit Extension. Here are a few examples of when and why Deposit Extension could be useful:

You can't travel during your deposit timeframe. Many situations can arise limiting your ability to travel. Work, family or personal obligations can pile up and before you know it, you don’t have the time to travel during your deposit’s travel window. With the flexibility of Deposit Extensions you don’t have to worry about staying in that travel window! You can extend your deposit giving you the opportunity to travel at a time that is more convenient for you.

You want to give your vacation week to family or friends but it expires soon. Sharing a vacation with loved ones can be a great gift but it may be difficult for them to plan in a short period of time. Purchasing a Deposit Extension will allow you to give the ones you care about your vacation week without the rush of having to plan immediately.

You can combine your deposits. You can also combine your expiring deposit with another deposit or Deposit Credit. When you combine deposits and/or Deposit Credits, the travel window of the new Combined Deposit is good for 2 years from the date combined.

When a vacation is put on hold, you have until the close of business the following day to either confirm or release the unit. If the vacation is not confirmed, it will be automatically released.

"Close of business" corresponds with Call Center hours. Call Center hours are based on local times for RCI subscribing members in the Continental United States, Western Canada and Central Canada. For members in Hawaii and Alaska, Call Center hours are based on Pacific Time. For members in the Caribbean and Atlantic Canada, Call Center hours are based on Eastern Time.

Combined Deposits allow you to combine multiple deposits or Deposit Credits for a fee, and turn them into one combined "week" with higher Trading Power. Each of your Deposited weeks, combined Deposits or Deposit Credits has a Deposit Trading Power assigned to it. When you combine any of these, they appear as one week with a new higher Deposit Trading Power. You can then book an exchange that requires more trading power than your original week had.

In the Manage My Deposits section under Home on RCI.com you will be able to see all of your Deposits, including Combined Deposits and Deposit Credits and their Trading Power. You can then choose to combine them for a fee.

You can select as many of your Deposits or Deposit Credits as you would like to combine to get the exchange you want. When clicking on eligible deposits or Deposit Credits, the total Trading Power of the Combined Deposits and the new travel window will appear on the right of the screen. Once you select the Deposits or Deposit Credits you would like to combine, simply confirm you choice and pay the combine fee.

Your newly combined Deposits will then appear on your Manage My Deposits screen as a “Combined Deposit” which can be used like a regular Deposit. It is important to note that the individual weeks, or Deposit Credits you combined will no longer be visible on the "Manage Your Deposits" screen as individual weeks. The travel window for the new Combined Deposit will be 2 years from the date combined. For example, if you combine two weeks on December 1, 2014 your new Combined Deposit will have a travel through date of December 1, 2016.

An RCI Guest Certificate allows a friend or family member to check in to a vacation at an RCI affiliated resort booked through your RCI account. They can be purchased with cash (not Points) and applied to an RCI exchange vacation, an Extra VacationsSM Getaway or a Last CallSM vacation.

RCI Guest Certificates can also be applied to RCI Cruise vacations and RCI Points Partners transactions. Simply indicate that the vacation is for a guest at the time of booking.
